The grand ballroom buzzes with life, the clink of champagne glasses and soft hum of classical music filling the air. Taehyung arrives late, his presence like a storm entering a calm sea. He’s dressed in a black velvet suit, his hair slicked back, exuding power and mystery. Lorenzo and Mara flank him discreetly, their eyes scanning the crowd.
Jungkook steps into the opulent venue, his chin held high. he exudes confidence, his every move calculated to blend in yet stand out. he isn’t just playing the role of a nobleman tonight—he’s owning it.
Jeon Jungkook
(To himself)
If THV is here, he’ll be hard to find. No one knows what he looks like. But someone must know something...
Kim Taehyung
Across the room, Taehyung observes from the shadows, leaning casually against the balcony railing. Dressed in a tailored black suit, he is the embodiment of control and charisma. His sharp eyes scan the crowd until they land on him. Something about his demeanor—strong, fearless, and entirely out of place among the sycophants—intrigues him immediately.
Kim Taehyung
(murmuring to Lorenzo, standing beside him)
"That’s him."
Kim Taehyung
"No. I’ll handle it."
He descends the staircase slowly, his every step deliberate, his eyes never leaving him. Jungkook, sensing the weight of someone’s gaze, turns slightly. Their eyes meet for the first time.
both felt some kind of shiver in their entire body for Taehyung he never saw a man this beautiful and charming at the same time .and for Jungkook he never met someone with such charisma and coldness.
Taehyung approaches, his movements smooth and deliberate, as if the world bends to accommodate him. Jungkook doesn’t flinch or falter; instead, he meets his gaze with an unyielding confidence. Taehyung extends his hand, a faint smile on his lips.
Kim Taehyung
"Kim Taehyung. And you are?"
Jeon Jungkook
Jungkook doesn’t hesitate. he places his hand in his, his grip firm and deliberate, a silent statement that he’s not easily intimidated.
Jeon Jungkook
"Park jonwoo. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim."
Their handshake lingers for a fraction too long, an unspoken challenge passing between them. Taehyung’s lips curl into a smirk as he releases his hand.
Kim Taehyung
"I don’t believe we’ve met before. Are you new to these circles?"
Jeon Jungkook
(smiling confidently)
"Not exactly. I prefer to stay... unnoticed. But I suppose I’m making an exception tonight."
Kim Taehyung
(raising an eyebrow, amused)
"Unnoticed? Hardly. You’re quite the exception, Mr Park."
Jeon Jungkook
Jungkook tilts her head slightly, studying him with a sharp, discerning gaze that unnerves most men but only seems to intrigue him further.
Jeon Jungkook
"And you, Mr. Kim? I’ve heard much about you."
Jeon Jungkook
*isn't he Kim Taehyung the no 1 businessman in south Korea. what he wants from me.i don't know but I am not getting a good vibe from him.*
Kim Taehyung
(leaning slightly closer, his voice low)
"Good things, I hope."
Jeon Jungkook
(smiling faintly)
"I suppose that depends on perspective. Some call you a genius, others... less flattering things."
His words are a subtle jab, but Taehyung chuckles, unfazed. He gestures toward the balcony.
Kim Taehyung
"Care for some air? It’s a bit... stifling in here."
Jeon Jungkook
(glancing around)
"Why not? I could use a moment away from the pretense."
Jeon Jungkook
He follows him to the balcony, aware of the power dynamic at play yet refusing to let it intimidate him. The city lights stretch out before them, and for a moment, there’s only the sound of distant music and the faint breeze of the night.
Kim Taehyung
"You don’t strike me as the typical guest at these events. Most people here are eager to impress, yet you... seem unimpressed."
Jeon Jungkook
(leaning against the railing, meeting his gaze)
"Should I be impressed? It’s just another gathering of people with too much money and too little accountability."
His words hang in the air, sharp and daring. Taehyung narrows his eyes slightly, studying him, but a flicker of amusement crosses his face.
Kim Taehyung
"Bold words for someone enjoying the champagne."
Jeon Jungkook
(smirking)
"Is that what this is? Enjoyment? I was under the impression these parties were about networking, alliances, and secrets."
Kim Taehyung
His sharp wit catches him off guard, but he hides it well, his smirk growing wider.
Kim Taehyung
He let out a quiet laugh"Secrets, Mr Park? You make it sound so... sinister."
